Hands on Education :)
I am always looking for new ideas to use in the classroom..... This week I prepared a rotating lab for my students and a skin lab as well. The students love getting up and putting there hands on objects to learn. I had several comments from the students about how they love having me as a teacher and how I try to make learning fun. It made me feel good that the students liked coming to my class everyday. I know that I could make a lot more money at another job, but I feel that I am helping these children in ways that even their family might not. I listen to them, answer questions, and give positive solutions to problems. I still have a lot to learn, but I do the best I can with my busy schedule and that is all anyone can ask us to do.
Becky, it is wonderful that your students are having such a positive experience in your classroom. It is great to know that even though we have the opportunity to do other things we have chosen to make a positive difference in the lives of the ones who really need it the most. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteBecky, I think that you are a great teacher because you take the time to listen to what's going on with the students. I feel that providing life lessons are more important than any lesson pertaining to HCSTE. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteI totally understand what you mean. The more hands on you can make it the more the students enjoy what they are doing.The little bit of extra attention they get its like the energy boost they need. Some one has to be there for them and when I know that I practically have to kick the kids out of my class I know that they enjoy it and are learning at the same time.
